The International Math Competition is designed to celebrate and cultivate mathematical excellence worldwide. It serves as the ultimate platform for aspiring mathematicians in grades 3-8 to demonstrate their adept skills, challenge their intellectual capacity, and push the boundaries of their mathematical competency. The IMC allows students to grow in ways that honor their God-given talents, fostering a deeper appreciation for the gifts they’ve been given and a stronger sense of purpose in using them.
Schools may register an unlimited number of students for Level 1.Students in Levels 2 and 3 advance by invitation only, based on scoring in the top 30% of Level 1.
There are two math testing categories available: Computation and Reasoning. Schools may register students for one category ($20) or both ($40).
- Computation questions focus on applying math skills students already know—the steps are clear, and success depends on accurately performing the arithmetic.
- Reasoning questions require students to determine what math needs to be done; they must think through the problem, decide on the operations or steps, and then solve.
All questions are based on standards appropriate for each grade level. For reference, schools may consult the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
When registering students, you will need to provide their name, grade level, and indicate which test(s) they will be taking.
The competition is a digital event only. All testing will be conducted online at each registered school for each level. This competition is available to ACSI members only, including global national, international, and U.S. schools.
